Each year, MSDA aims to provide at least one standalone seminar, and we use this to offer some specialized instruction, or to introduce dogs and handlers to a sport that’s not within the usual “sporting dog” realm, or just to try out something new. These events include:
- 2018 AKC Spaniel Hunt Test Judging Seminar taught by AKC Field Rep Tom Meyer
- 2019 Conformation and Obedience & Rally Stewarding Seminar
- 2020 Field Training Basics: A Weekend Workshop
- 2021 Westminster (Virtual) Watch Party
- 2021 Upland Dog Fundamentals Workshop led by professional trainer Jordan Horak
- 2021 AKC Spaniel Hunt Test Judging Seminar taught by AKC Field Rep Tom Meyer
- 2022 Barn Hunt Seminar & Try-It
- 2023 Dock Diving Seminar & Try-It
- June 2024 Seminar: Retrieving for Upland Dogs led by professional trainer Mitch White
- September 2024 AKC Spaniel Hunt Test Judging Seminar led by AKC Field Rep Tom Meyer – Part of the 2024 Fall Hunt Test Weekend
Information about seminars and other special events are announced on this website, in our newsletter, and on our private Facebook group.
